Talk:Hollow Vergil

Hollow Vergil = Hollow Ichigo
Okay. No matter how similar they are, you  cannot  say it was derived from Bleach. There is no official source that says such a thing, like how we have an actual source from Tameem Antoniades saying he took inspiration from They Live for DmC. Doesn't matter how much you think it does, that's totally unprofessional to pretty much put words in the dev's mouths. We have no source on this, and it's a bold claim to say they did it on purpose. Even as some sort of apparition, Bleach wasn't the first to pioneer white-flushed counterparts of characters, so saying it was derived specifically from Bleach is a rather misguided conclusion to jump to, when inspiration could literally have been drawn from any other place.

You also can't claim that "they must have heard of Bleach." I know plenty of people who haven't, or only know it so vaguely they barely know what it's even about. We don't know how they spend their off-time, but we can't just assume they've heard of a specific anime. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, it's not for this wiki to decide.

And even if it's "just soooo obvious," still no; we have a tag explicitly for bringing attention to inferences so they can be fixed or removed, so why are we allowing this inference?

Mentioning the striking similarity as trivia is enough. Derekoe&#124;Hot-blooded God of Guns&#124; (talk) 15:14, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
